Abstract

In this paper I wish to describe some recent results concerning bifurcation for nonlinear equations of Monge-Ampère type. Many of the results below may be found, with more detailed proofs, in [8]. I would like to thank Professor Klaus Schmitt under whose guidance this work was carried out.
